Makes me laugh!

So my almost 1-year-old DD has decided that the num-num's are self serve! She has almost completely stopped signing "milk" and just booby dives when she wants to breastfeed! She tugs at my neckline or tries to lift my shirt and just gets so annoyed if I don't immediately fix it! I honestly, truly don't mind and will always let her breastfeed if I can, I just think it's adorable. I try to get her to "use her words" (sign), and I'm very gentle with reminding her that she does know how to ask nicely, but at the same time I'm chuckling or laughing out loud at how she is developing the ability to affect her environment and be so independent.

Just had to share. <3

I am generally or or both
I cloth diaper and nurse in public, proudly!
And with our ped's blessing, I'm raising a vegetarian baby who is half my height at 1-year-old!

Re: Makes me laugh!

I think the funniest part is when we go to bed at night and I have to "endure" (gladly) the 10-60 minutes of "this side" no "that side" no "that side" no "I want to lay on your arm" no "I want to lay on your belly" no "I want to snuggle" no "I want to lay over there" no "I want to..." And she just wriggles like a squirmy kitten for up to an hour and I have to just adjust or lay still and wait until she goes from wriggling to dreaming with almost no noticeable transition.

When my dd is ready for bed she says "attack mommy". She likes to "attack" (latch on) while I'm getting up to turn the lights off. Then she nurses on one side for a couple minutes and then the top side she nurses half sitting up laying on me and that's where she falls asleep

Proud mom of 2:
DD 5/2008 nursed for 3 years and 3 months.
DS born 8/2011 nursing like a champ

Sorry for the short responses...always, always, always NAK or holding a baby

Re: Makes me laugh!

My DS attacks my shirt and he's only 6 months old, lol! He grabs at my boobs, or rubs his face in them ! I can only imagine what he does in 6 more months!

I my LLL meetings and this forum! Without them I wouldn't have been able to deal with poor latch, mastitis, over supply or thrush. Make a goal and stick with it! After many hurdles, I my baby boy, born all naturally 01/23/2010.
